Terrible book, 530 pages written to justify $29 price. If Alan Furst had written this it would be 300 pages. I kept skimming the last 100 pages just to get it over with. Poor characterization, silly plot, dumb dialogue. If father Demille wrote any of this I would be surprised. It appears he wanted to get his son into writing using the family brand but this is a very very poor start at that. Don't bother with this book, it is a waste of time.
